NEW YORK — Sean “Diddy” Combs is set to be sentenced in his federal criminal case Oct. 3 after a judge denied Combs’ request to have his conviction overturned.

Combs, 55, was convicted in July of two counts alleging that he arranged interstate travel for people engaged in prostitution and was acquitted of several higher-level charges. He has remained jailed since his conviction.

Prosecutors claimed the hip hop mogul and Bad Boy Records founder used his fame, wealth and violence to force and manipulate two now-ex-girlfriends into days-long, drugged-up sexual performances he called “freak-offs” or “hotel nights.”

Here's a timeline of major events that led to the trial and verdict.
